So, if a golfer uses a horizontal hinge, one would expect past impact to see a clubface closed (in relation to the ground) about the same amount as the angle the club shaft is at (viewed from directly above) – for example shaft 45 degrees past left shoulder, clubface closed about 45 degrees. But looking at actual pics of pros swinging drivers (for example) – I don’t see that at all. I see the toe almost pointing down the line at this point. Any thoughts?

Chris,

Don't forget: Golf Clubs are made with hooked Faces.
